Abstract: The quality of water is affected by human activities and is declining due to rise of urbanization, population growth, industrial production, climate change and other factors. The fish as a bioindicator of aquatic medium, it play an important role in the monitoring of water pollution because of the sudden death of fish indicates the heavy pollution and the effects of exposure to sublethal levels can be measured in histopathological responses of the fishes.........

Abstract: Urine diversion dehydration toilet (UDDT) is a kind of toilet that is used to recover resources such as nutrients. The study was carried out in one union namely Bagachra, Sharsha Upazilla, Jessore. The main objective of the study was to know about people's perception about UDDT and make a cost comparison between normal toilet and UDDT of the study area. In the study area 50 household were selected for collecting data. In the study area 22 respondents were UDDT user and 28 respondents were non user.........

Abstract: In present study the efforts have been made to prepare functional ready-to-serve (RTS) drink made from blend of aloevera gel and lemon juice extract. The blended juices were prepared by using different proportions of aloevera and lemon juice i.e., 100:0, 98:2:, 96:4, 94:6 and 92:8 and 90:10 respectively. The blended therapeutic RTS drink samples were analyzed for its different physicochemical as well as sensory parameters. Sensory quality evaluated by adopting 9 point hedonic scale after 15 days interval..........
